Welcome to the awesome marriage podcast, a place for honest conversations about marriage and how to have the relationship that God has designed for you.

I am your co-host, Christina Dodson. On the show will be our host, Dr. Kim Kimberling and Nill Smith.

To engage with the awesome marriage podcast, use the hashtag awesome marriage.

Well, today we have a fun topic that we're going to be talking about.

We're going to be talking about how to affirm your wife.

But before we got started, I just thought it would be a great opportunity to ask you guys,

if you like this podcast, if you've been listening to Awesome Marriage Podcasts and you enjoy it

and you've benefited from it, do us a huge favor and help other couples by going and

leaving an iTunes review. This is the single best way to help us out. It helps with iTunes

algorithms and helps more couples and more people who need this marriage content and need

to learn what it looks like to follow after God in our marriage and all of that good stuff.

It helps them to be able to see the podcast and more people to know about it.

So if you haven't done to that already, we would love, love, love, if you could leave us an iTunes

review.

Yeah, I agree totally with that.

We need that.

It helps so much, you know, and I love reading their reviews too.

People say some nice things, and that's nice to hear

sometimes. Yeah, very encouraging. So today we're going to be focusing on a mini series on affirmation

in marriage. As Christ's followers, we are called to build each other up and in a marriage,

our spouse's words are very powerful. Being intentional and affirming to your spouse is one way that you can show your spouse

that you love them and to love them well. And so we want to help you to affirm your spouse.
